Most of us think we have something important to say, but sometimes...
- ... it's best not to write that insignificant blog post.
- ... it's best to remain silent.
- ... it's best to hold your tongue in a tense situation.
- ... it's best not to speak your mind.
- ... it's best to stop talking and end the meeting.
- ... it's best to shut up and end the speech, presentation, or sermon.
- ... it's best not to send that angry letter or email.
- ... it's best not to tell that joke.
- ... it's best to just leave your opinions to yourself.

I would have liked this line of tweets and posts 2 years ago, thanks... (of course, I wouldn't have heeded them then.)
We all learn and grow from experience, right? Let's hope.
We all should, yes.
Otherwise we're just doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. I think you know what that means.
Huzzah! I really liked this post - thanks.
I was going to try and leave a really profound comment. But... I think you say it all perfectly, fella.
RE: my deleted comment - Someday I will learn to read in context. But not this day. Also, even if you DON'T intend to listen, it's often the better part of wisdom to put a cork in it. Some people just like to hear themselves and I've learned to let them do it.
Great post, I love it. This should be everyone's daily mantra. :D
Thanks, everyone. I'll resist saying too much and just leave it at that. ;-)
Umm...Abraham Lincoln ripped off the Bible with that quote there.
Abraham Lincoln ripped off the Bible in a lot of his quotes. :)
